Item details

The House for an Art Lover was built between 1989 and 1996 in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park, based on a 1901 design by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife and collaborator Margaret MacDonald. The idea to actually construct the house was the brainchild of Graham Roxburgh, a Glasgow civil engineer who had done refurbishment work on other Mackintosh interiors. The building provides a showcase for some of Mackintosh's furnishings, an excellent restaurant and provides a unique venue for weddings and other events.

I've always loved this building, having been to several weddings there, and being a frequent visitor to the park with my family and dog. Building any Mackintosh building in Lego presents challenges because of his use of curves. I used hinge plates to recreate the bowed windows and small transparent bricks to represent the heavily mullioned windows that characterise Mackintosh's designs.
